An absolute distraction?

Just wondering what you all do when you need something to absolutely distract you. As in you are focusing on literally nothing but this activity. This is also partially because I need something to completely distract me, notably from my computer and just from any other thoughts I have. Not gonna say why but I just want to find something that will be so tedious and monotonous/fun and exciting that I won't focus on anything else.

I guess to answer my own question what I used to do was kind of stupid and strange.
I'd go into the NYC subway system, get on random trains and random stops and basically get myself lost. Trying to find my way back distracted me from everything. This no longer works though because as I've gotten older I've naturally become more attuned to the subway system and such.

I usually look at porn...

but not involving the computer?
I used to go to the park by my grandparents house and try and fall asleep at the bottom of the slide...

Well, besides the Internet or gaming, I get very engrossed in drawing or a good book. Maybe when I'm writing a story as well.

I guess the closest I ever come to that is when I'm writing, but I really try not to focus too much when I write as it tends to make me lose inspiration.

Get thousands of sheets of graph paper and make a Serpinski's Triangle.
(This may not work if you hate geometry)

Alternatively, sit down and begin singing, then when you're done, compare [the melody you started with] with [the melody you ended with] and [the content you started with] with [the content you ended with] and gauge your tendency to babble based upon that.

Ha! So. You want the Escapist to help you find an escape? Ha! No better place to look.

Not the most exciting thing to do, but have you ever considered pondering the meaning of everything? :) That's what I do when left with nothing else to do for a bit to keep from going criminally Mad!
Here is one of my favorites you can try to start off small.
What is God?
I came up with the answer nothing. (By that I don't mean God doesn't exist, but rather that God is nothingness.)
What do you think?
